Well, we probably expected a little bit too much for this apartment. But the price suggested perfection, which was not in every aspect the case.
Positive: the kitchen is really good equipped, good tools (even one spatula from Rösle) and the china, cooking pots, cooking knifes and cutlery are in shape and of high standard. There is a booklet about the renovation of the apt., which shows very well how intensive and costly the renovation was.
Neutral: the pictures in Wimdu give a impression that the apt. is bigger as it really is. But it is lovely decorated and the pictures are showing the reality.Room upstairs is very small, but the bathroom is nice.
Not so positive: the television gets its signals from Hotbird satellite, with loads of arab - religious - XXX related channels, but Rai 1 for example one does not get. This was really more than a pitty during the World Cup Finals and has to be changed big time. 90% of the channels are scrambled/ pay TV channels. The rest: see above.
There is no Wireless Lan installed and the apt. does not have a terrace with a view over the city. There are other apt. here in Wimdu which have that and we missed it a lot! Regarding the price per night for this apt. I think at least wireless lan with a reasonable speed is an absolute must. After asking we got W-Lan from Barbara with 3G speed. Normally this is NOT included in the daily fee.
We did not have hot water the first night, but next day by noon Barbara fixed it. But it is the fact that one third of our stay we did not have hot water!
Resumé: really nice apt., which is not really a bargain with need of improvement in details. Therefore "only" 4 stars.
